After a slow Thursday with only three games played, the NBA is about to kick it into high gear with full slates on Friday and Saturday, and a few extra games thrown in on Sunday.

The Denver Nuggets are right in the thick of things, and they'll be playing on both Friday and Sunday. Up first, they'll take on the Memphis Grizzlies in the featured game on Friday, which will be at 10:30 p.m. (all times eastern), broadcast nationally on ESPN.

They'll also take on the struggling Sacramento Kings on Sunday, at 6:00 p.m. Denver isn't doing great, but they're 11-12, while the Kings are a paltry 7-14.

There's plenty of other big games. The Los Angeles Lakers will continue their quest to actually string some wins together on Friday against the Washington Wizards, and then again on Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Division rivals in the Timberwolves, Jazz, Thunder and Trail Blazers will also be in action.
